    DVC ressie with no tickets

    Anyone have a “guess” at what time the online tickets will be available on June 28? We don’t have tickets for our Thanksgiving 2020 DVC stay and have made peace with it for now. But really hope we get tickets for my 50th birthday celebration at DVC for January 2021.

    Renting points

    We rented points for our Thanksgiving 2012 vacation. We rented through Davids and stayed at Saratoga Springs. This was our first experience renting points although we have stayed at the Disney Vacation Resorts multiple times with my sister. We prefer the Vacation resorts and will definitely...

    Falmouth Jamaica port adventures?

    We sailed on the Carnival Magic from Galveston last June and booked the Hilton Rose Hall resort through Jamaica for a Day. We booked this excursion on our own and the bus picked us up inside the port area so we felt very safe. It was an awesome day - yummy jerk chicken and pork, drinks were...

    Galveston shuttle to Airport

    We cruised Carnival Magic from Galveston in June and flew into Hobby. We actually rented a car for a week for about what the cruise transfers would cost. Just a thought.

    Quicken Loans and Refinancing

    We just had a new appraisal - we went from $240,000 to $225,000 in just 2 years. Keep in mind that we were almost at $300,000 at one point.

    Quicken Loans and Refinancing

    We have used Quicken twice for refinances. Cheaper than our mortgage company and so efficient! The best part - the conduct the "closing" at your actual house and you don't have to visit or pay for the lawyers office. Highly recommend and great low rates right now.

    The unofficial waiting to make Be Our Guest ADRs thread-8/20 7am

    Assuming I can call at noon on Monday, August 20 - do we know the first date a reservation can be made? I would hate to be on hold for an hour and my Thanksgiving trip not even be within the dates of the restaurant opening.

    "Budget" homemade costume idea for MNSSHP

    My sister and I bought the Minnie Mouse headbands online - it's a headband with black ears and a red polka dot bow. We wore red t-shirt and black skorts. Very temperature cool and just the right touch of costume for us. Our 3 kids were Donald Duck's nephews. We had those duck quackers from...

    Bug Spray?

    My sister and I took the kids for Halloween one year right after a hurricane had hit Florida. After being eaten alive by mosquitos at the night time parade at the Magic Kingdom we purchased a very expensive bottle of bug spray at the Wilderness Lodge store. It was unusually hot on our visit...

    We're going to Disney for 9 nights at Christmas! And you won't believe my hotel rate!

    We were at the Gaylord Opryland hotel last year for Christmas. I brought a couple of strands of those large colored LED Christmas lights and strung them over the bed and dresser. Very festive and didn't take up very much room. Santa had packed a couple of gifts in a large cardboard box that...

    Landrys question??

    Yeah - thanks for great information. We will be spending Thanksgiving at Disney OOP since our 12 year old is not a good value on the DDP. We will have $50 on a Landrys card and I had booked Rainforest Cafe at AK. Just switched to Yak & Yeti (which is one of our favorites)!!!!

    Kona dinner question

    My 16 year old neice was able to order an appetizer for her meal at The Wave and she was on the dining plan. You're not out anything asking. We will be doing Kona without the dining plan at Thanksgiving for the first time - I plan on having those yummy wings for my meal with a salad...

    Do you use packing cubes?

    Love our packing cubes! Each member of the family has their own set. You will be amazed at just how much stuff will fit in a suitcase (be careful with the 50 pound limit). Everything stays so organized once you are at the destination too. We ordered from LL Bean.

    Anyone else surprising kids with trip?

    Surprised my son when he was 4 and it did not go as planned. He had been to WDW probably 2 or 3 times so it wasn't his first trip. We picked up his dad from work and headed to the "surprise". My 4 year old thought that the "surprise" we had been talking about was a trip to ChuckECheese. We...

    Thanksgiving booking strategy

    This will be our third year of spending Thanksgiving at Disney. We use DVC so the free dining promotion does not come into play. We arrive the Saturday before Thanksgiving and leave the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The crowds seem to pick up on Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). I...

    Are there Kids alternatives at 'Ohana?

    My son has ordered grilled cheese and fries on two different visits. I'm thinking they may use the Kona Cafe for that order??
